I am happy for all the disagreeing posts and that HN is a place for it. It also helps me understand my colleagues. It may be how our brains are wired. For me whenever I see a for loop I see bugs. It is also about that you get the concurrenc

My colleagues hate me, but I also found that SQL is The way to write business logic. Lots of caveats about difficulty to test and weird syntax. But it is just that SQL is the most terse and standard way so express logic. And that in itself

Using tables for layout is pretty understandable. But when tables went out of fashion it was all about using floats for layout for a few years. That was wild, I am surprised it was left out from that list. https://developer.mozil

Yeah they also invested in Dutch natural gas which was a catastropic deal. I think the relationship between the government and Vattenfall is heavily regulated so that they can't micromanage and have to set high profit goals for the com

Fair enough possible that the analogy halts. But .. . 1. promise something with a simple message that is an oversimplification to get enogh voters. 2. Do it because you promised the voters. Even if it is a bad idea and will not lead to good

There are some reasons i could think of that should make the tax-payers subsidise nuclear investments. Sweden's competitive advantage during the 1900s was cheap energy. And we have some important industries that rely on it. Steelworks

That is the psychology behind populism. Might as well say that my job is keeping my kids happy. That is why I give them candies instead of dinner.

For Sweden not that much. Sweden was always an energy exporter and not really depending on Russia. Neighbouring countries such as Finland have been more dependant on Russia and the imports from Sweden have increased because of cutting the R

I think the multipolarity may be the key. In a bipolar world there must be a rift between the two and in some unlucky circumstances the rift can only grow and never heal.

The current government is pretty weak and one of their promises before the election was to increase nuclear energy. So this is pretty much something they had to announce to keep voters happy. Whether it will happen in practice is another qu

I feel like taking the servant leader approach is also a trap for your own development. And it shouldn't be like that. It kind of defeats the purpose of taking the role unless you are a masochist (I sometimes am...) But it is hard of c

Can you describe why you need it? Is it because of real performance concerns or just because it feels better knowing that you don't waste memory space and CPU cycles? If you really need it, you can always fall back to using mutables fo

by fifilura 3y ago
This is typical of the bugs you have to worry about when working with a language that favors mutability. With immutables you simply map on players list and continue working with the copy. Bugs avoided. Performance concerns - maybe they exis

Thank you! I will probably use it when I run into golang again. I am with you. Ever since working extensively with SQL for a while my go-to paradigm has been "programming without for-loops". It just magically removes the bugs. The

I am not a functional programming fanatic, but I do appreciate all the functional constructs making their way into less esoteric languages. Such as map/reduce and in general working with immutables. Golang does not have this and it mak
